Chap. 16- Blast From the Past
 
I stood behind the bar, and lord did I feel like I was in a foreign land. Kagura and Naraku were watching the crowd carefully. There were a few regulars from The Island, something I had never expected.
 
The only one that didn't surprise me was the one, the only, Miroku. He was there for Sango only, I knew. Inu sat at a booth talking to the pervert for an hour or so before Miroku had the nerve to get up and actually walk to the bar.
 
“My lady Sango?” He whispered.
 
“Yes, Miroku.” She gripped the side of the bar, her knuckles turning white. I watched the frustration pass over her features as she watched the man in front of her fumble for words. Then their conversation was faded out to me.
 
It was like I had never left this place, my place of solitude. Someone stumbled into the door, sounds were drowned out slowly. “Fuck.” I whispered taking a spot behind Sango, hiding to a degree.
 
Inuyasha noticed immediately and stood moving to an empty stool by the bar. His golden eyes pinned me, making me look back and shake my head.
 
“Kagome, so good to see you. I've missed you these last few weeks.” The wolf said almost sweetly.
 
“I'm sure.” I knew it was no use to hide. “What would you like?” My dark hair flicked back behind my shoulders, allowing me to bend down. “Jack as always, or have you changed?”
 
“Rum is good but a Jack will do.” Kouga looked down on me as I was bending down to get a glass.
 
“On the rocks I assume?” I asked the standard questions.
 
“Yes, please.” He whispered. I put the glass down with ice in it, grabbing it on my way up. Kouga grabbed my arm pulling me flush against the side of the bar. I winced visibly.
 
“Kouga.” I warned, glancing at Inu who was watching with raging fiery eyes. “Please let me go.”
 
“When are you coming back to me Kagome?” He asked softly, his breath stanching of alcohol.
 
“She's not.” Inu spoke. “I suggest you let MY lady go.” His voice was little more than a hiss, and it was lethally so.
 
“Inu. Let it go.” My eyes looked up to him, as I jerked my arm away. “Just let it go.”
 
Inuyasha sat back down on his stool watching me but Kouga wouldn't drop it. “You're lady? She was mine first.”
 
“And now she's mine.” Inu pushed the hiss between clenched teeth.
 
“Stop it right now!” Both Sango and I threw at them in the same second. The boys just blinked at us. Miroku was smirking.
 
I turned away, my eyes darkening. “Stupid arrogant asses. I love Inu but god damn.” I murmured under my breath. Inu caught it.
 
“You love me and you know it.” He laughed. I turned around and slid over the bar, putting my feet on the stool in between his legs.
 
“Yes I do.” I leaned forward and kissed him softly. Kouga huffed behind me, and infected Miroku with laughter. Sango just watched, sighed, and started back on a drink for herself.
 
“Then why haven't you fucked him yet?” Kouga asked. “That was always you're style. Sleep with them and then love them.”
 
“I think you are confusing me with Kikyou, you know the slut that gave you HIV a few years ago. And no you did not just say that to my face.” I stood, towering above him. “I never slept with you, you ass. You raped me.”
